For satellite tournaments, what the average stack will be when the largest prize (e.g. the package or tournament prize) is awarded.

For all other tournaments, what the average stack will be when the first prize positions is reached.

Essentially, Target Stack is the approximate stack size you will need to cash in the tournament.

‘When we wrote the book, Dara and I realised that the first important concept players needed to be able to understand and calculate in game is the target stack. Most people know they don’t need to win all the chips in a satellite to win a seat, but not everybody knows how many they should be aiming for when the tournament starts. Well now thanks to MPN’s innovation they don’t need to calculate it themselves anymore, but they still need to buy the book to understand why it’s so important and how to adjust their targets based on the size and structure of the satellite.’

-Barry Carter, co-author of Poker Satellite Strategy

Those who have read the book can also tap on the ‘Target Stack’ to get their progress towards it – roughly equivalent to the ‘Chance of Cashing’ in the book.

This is just the beginning – the next major release, v43, will include a brand new tournament lobby with much more information.

Its now possible to see all tournaments in the lobby, including tournaments which are not yet running or available for registration, and tournaments which have completed.

You can filter to include or exclude tournaments which are Registering, Upcoming, Completed or In Progress. You can also focus on ‘My Tournaments’ – which are tournaments you have played, registered for, or are currently playing in.
